43 :: Trying out CartoDB

I wanted to finish today with an actual map, so I thought I’d try out CartoDB to see how easy it and holleey cats, is it ever easy to make a pretty map.

You can start by adding a data table, either from a google drive (very useful) or as a file from a variety of formats including OSM, GeoJSON and KML files. This is interesting to me because this suggests that we can import one style and export it as another.

From there, it’s seems very simple to add additional layers for simple visualizations.
